Operator Training Simulators Benefits & Technology
Benefits of Operator Training Simulator
Dynamic simulation helps process and power generation companies significantly improve overall plant efficiency and bottom line performance and provide the ideal basis for efficient, risk-free operator training and operations improvement. During the past several years, dynamic simulation has been recognized as a key enabling technology in the Process Industries.
Operator Training Simulators are detailed, high fidelity, real-time simulation systems that are custom-built to match the dynamic behavior of single or multiple plant units and their associated control systems. An Operator Training System may be used throughout the plant lifecycle to train operating crews, resulting in fewer operating errors and quicker and safer startups and shutdowns, improve plant reliability due to improved response to abnormal situations, optimize throughput and product quality, and provide the basis for evaluation of control strategies.
- Operational Skill is a Competitive Advantage
- Faster start-up
- Effective response to Abnormal situations
- Operations team constancy of performance
- Reduced losses and higher levels of production sooner
- Operator Training Simulators is an effective way to develop and sustain operations skills
- Unique safe environment for “hands on” training
- Reproducible training sessions
- Measurable performance
- Added Value from engineering benefits
- Validation of design and configuration (ie DCS check out) before startup
- Operational procedure improvements
- What if analysis
OTS Technology
Hyperion has partnered with Invensys SimSci-Esscor to provide comprehensive OTS solutions, to resell the Invensys technology in certain regions and to develop and grow new markets for OTS solutions based on Invensys technology consisted primarily of SIM4ME™ and DYNSIM™.
The SIM4ME™ user environment is intuitive, friendly, and possesses more functionality than ever. SIM4ME™ expedites the engineering workflow by reusing model data: steady state design, operational analysis, dynamic simulation, operator training, performance monitoring, and real-time optimisation are all possible through SIM4ME™.
SIM4ME™ represents 35 years of Invensys’ experience in providing simulation and optimization products and services to the process industries. Based on a model-centric design, SIM4ME™ hosts comprehensive process simulation, optimisation and control system emulation programs.
DYNSIM™ is part of Invensys’ Dynamic Simulation Suite ( DSS) and SIM4ME™ user environment, which provides the full power of rigorous dynamic simulation and control emulation for plant engineers, operators, and managers.
DYNSIM™, is a powerful, cost-effective improvement over legacy dynamic simulators, as it enables users to leverage dynamic simulation model equity. DYNSIM™ excels in plant simulation operations by allowing users to use the same model in multiple applications, such as process design studies, control evaluations and checkouts, operator training and operational analysis.
Engineers and operators use DYNSIM™ to perform basic design studies, operational troubleshooting, control system checkouts and comprehensive evaluations of standard and emergency operational procedures.
